It's the return path to the power source. If ground *is* energized to *any* amount, you end up with stray voltage through the ground itself and current will flow to pipes and other things that really *are* at ground potential. This causes electrolysis because of that leakage current.Fur, eh? Sure it wasn't a steel dust bloom? :) |
